Wife & I both got the Axe… Help!
My wife & I are/were(?) teachers at the same school. I was teaching elsewhere but a position opened up and through her I got an interview & got the position just over 4 years ago. The original headmaster who hired us has since retired.
Yesterday we were both called into the office & told our time there was done & we wouldn’t be getting contracts for next school year. Obviously we are devastated and stressed. We both loved that school, but my wife especially loved that school. She wants to stay in education, but I’m not sure about myself.
My favorite part of teaching is the schedule. Done at 3 everyday, breaks, and of course summer allows us to sound so much time together and with our children. What jobs would you recommend to a transitioning teacher like myself whose main priority is being home with his family? I don’t mind working, but I’ve done a 10-6pm job before and that’s just not going to work again, I need to be able to have meaningful time with my family.
